Our Mission

Support our mission by creating your own fundraiser.

Food

Emergency Food distribution has currently been our largest program because of the continuous war, famine and drought that has plagued the Horn of Africa. An ARAHA food basket provides staples like rice, flour, maize, sugar, and cooking oil and can feed a family of 5-7 people for a month. You can feed a family with your generous donation today. Buy a food basket which will feed a family for a month: $100.

Water

Providing the one of the basic human needs is access to clean water. Today in the Horn of Africa, millions of people are suffering from diseases and death because there is a lack of access to clean water. Shallow, hand-dug water wells are inexpensive to build and can provide clean drinking water to thousands of villagers and their livestock for a dozen years or more. They also provide employment opportunities for local laborers and maintenance technicians as well as spare women and children from the difficult and dangerous work of fetching water from unsafe sources. Cost: $2,000-$5,000 depending on region.

Disaster Relief

Another of ARAHA’s important projects is the family shelter program. ARAHA provides a traditional dwelling for a poor family. This shelter protects a family from rains, wind, heat and the sun. Cost $600.

Education

ARAHA’s goal is to give families the opportunity to help break the cycle of poverty in the Horn of Africa through the building and maintenance of schools and computer labs, distributing textbooks and other essential supplies, and paying teacher salaries. Sponsor a teacher’s salary for just $150 a month.

Self-Reliance/Income-Generation

Water Tanker
ARAHA grants a poor family a water tanker. It is a local vehicle designed to transport drinking water. The purpose of this project is to provide the poor family a source of income by selling the water to their community. A family can expect income to be over $100 a month. Cost: $750

Dairy Cow
ARAHA grants a dairy cow to a family. The purpose of this project is to provide the family a source of income by selling the milk as well as consuming it. A family can expect an average income to be $100 a month. COST: $500

Dairy Goat
ARAHA grants a pair of dairy goats to a family. The children benefit from a steady supply of nutritious milk and the goats provide families with much-needed collateral to borrow money for business on the open market. Cost: $150 for two goats.

Orphans

One of ARAHA’s longest-running and most important project is the Orphan Sponsorship Program. For only $40 a month you can sponsor an orphan. The sponsorship covers the basic needs of the orphan such as food, school fees and healthcare.
